Overview

E:GRAN — film edge trim recycling machine

NGR E:GRAN — Film Edge Trim Recycling Machine

A chopper-feeder-extruder combination with a space-saving design, an energy-efficient drive and simple, intuitive operation. The E:GRAN is the re-processing technology for thermoplastic film edge trims and roll scraps — clean enough to be installed directly inside a production hall.

How it works

The operating principle of E:GRAN

NGR E:GRAN operating principle — cutaway

Plastic film and film edge trim are chopped directly in the extruder feed section. The conically shaped conveying area of the screw compresses the material as it enters the extruder.

In the extruder, the material is brought to a uniform melt temperature and subsequently pelletized.

The feed section (where the material is chopped), conveying area and the extruder all lie along a single shaft. The resulting design requires only one energy-efficient drive.

All the components are positioned in close proximity to prevent oxidation of the material and to make optimal use of heat from the chopping process.

All models in the E:GRAN series feature this patented chopper-feeder-extruder combination.

Key features

Why the E:GRAN

Ideal in-feed

An innovative chopper/feeder design prepares film effectively and adjusts extruder speed automatically to fluctuating edge-trim volumes.

Clean, dust-free operation

Runs so cleanly it can be installed directly in production halls, right next to the film line.

One-step technology

Chopper, feeder and extruder work in a single process — no intermediate steps, switched on and off with one push button.

Zero-waste production

All edge trim and roll scrap is fed straight back into production for a precise, consistent output.

Built for 24/7 operation

Robust design engineered for continuous, energy-efficient running in a compact footprint.

Options & accessories

Add-Ons

Air Separator

Air Separator

The air separator is used in the production process to continuously recycle film edge trim, which is fed pneumatically into the machine. With "inline operation," further material handling is unnecessary, and the NGR recycling machine is now fully automated.

Roll Feeder

Roll Feeder

With variable feed speed, roll scrap is treated in a process-controlled manner. The virtually unmanned machine is fed continuously. The roll feeder can be operated at the same time with other types of feeding (e.g. conveyor belt).

Single venting

Single venting

Designed for light printing and low humidity. The vacuum degassing system includes a vacuum pump and is connected to two venting ports on the extruder.

Vacuum pump with closed water circuit

Vacuum pump with closed water circuit

Each venting combination can be equipped with a closed water circuit. The fresh water consumption at the vacuum pump is thereby reduced significantly.

Hot-die Waterring Pelletizer (HD)

Hot-die Waterring Pelletizer (HD)

For thermoplastics with a higher viscosity. The melt exits through the wear-resistant die plate, and is knocked off by the pelletizer blades. The pellets cooled in the water ring are flushed out, dried in the centrifuge and discharged. By adjusting the blade pressure, pelletizer blades provide a long service life; replacement is quick and easy.

Hot die-air pelletizer

Hot die-air pelletizer

Specially designed for inline applications where water is not used. The melt exits through the wear-resistant die plate, and is knocked off by the pelletizer blades. The pellets are carried away in the air stream and cooled.

Manual screen changer

Manual screen changer

For clean, in-house production waste. Using the manual lever, two screens can be swung out alternately to allow for cleaning of the melt stream. The process is discontinuous, because the machine has to be switched off to change the screen.

Flow scale

Flow scale

The throughput scale is integrated in the machine control system and displays the current production output in kg/h (lbs/hr). The data can be logged in a BDE system.
